The Syd Barrett story is indeed a strange one. After wywh their albums became less and less interesting to me.

All that said, back in the day, this music seemed about as psychedelic as rock music can get. Consider some titanic giant, up above Earth in outer space, taking long slow steps while covering miles and miles with each footfall.

The lyrics speak of the mental debilitation of their former band mate. The lyrics speak of a psychotic break. For me it takes some of the fun out of listening to the album. The music soars while the lyrics take us into the mind of a patient in an asylum -- strapped into a steel framed hospital bed.
